Inspired by the open science movement, research is becoming increasingly more open. To facilitate this, the Dutch research community (UNL, NFU, VH, NWO, and KNAW) and Elsevier started a collaboration. Together they are developing new open science and open access services to contribute to Dutch open science. Ideas for new services are tested via pilot projects. These pilots are undertaken by researchers, librarians, research managers, research intelligence consultants and other staff from the participating institutions – the people who will also end up using these services.

In the agreement, which runs until December 2024, the development of these new services are included next to open access publishing and reading services.

 

Developing new Open Science services

Here you will find information about how to contribute to the development of new services. You can read how to give suggestions for new services, how this idea turns into a pilot and how this could evolve into a regular service.

We will update you about the work that is done within the collaboration and we will continue to improve the relevance of the services for the research community. Links and documents about the partnership are provided here, as well as the latest information.

How can researchers help

Next to publishing open access, there are 5 easy things now to support Open Science.

1. Add your ORCID to papers, datasets, grants and preprints, so they can be linked to your profile
2. Link to your DATASETS so they can be used by others and cited
3. Link to the GRANT to avoid admin and help your funder and institution understand projects
4. Add team roles in CRediT format so all involved are acknowledged
5. Consider a PREPRINT to speed up distribution and reception of feedback
